Congratulations! Did you hear my shout out this am when I opened the paper?!? Loved your post and really believe in the philosophy that the best way to design is to save on most of the details so you can afford the splash--your marble tile floor is gorgeous!!!!!!

Michele...congrats!!! Wish I could get on her lofty list but guess my blog is not posh enough (nor, ehm, American!). Perhaps I should spend more time on decorating and less on complaining about my job...hehe.
